The soil I was working in was a little wet, and the weight of the attatchment made the front wheels dig into the ground, and that would then make the attatchment dig into the ground. It was a 711 unit on a 863. I found that a 325 Bobcat ex had much more digging power then the 863 combo. It was also very awkward to move the machine around, since you have to climb off the attatchment and hop into the machine. I was actually looking at the unit that you control from inside the cab. they look much easier to use. The one I was looking into was the kind that uses the bucket as the main knuckel and the switch in the cab runs the bucket. The only downside is that the unit doesn't swing around, you have to use the machine. But it was a lot cheaper new then a used fully self contained unit.</p></blockquote><p></p>
